I assume this is a well timed pause of relief for Microsoft but with Amazon's recent expansion of Luna in other territories, one has to...

GPU acceleration for physics might sound like a good idea at first but CPUs naturally handle and access game logic so implementing a...

Even Nvidia doesn't care about binary compatibility on their own hardware designs and is the main reason why their console partner is...

He has no idea of the technical challenges ... BTW Apple's x86 emulation has several limitations like not supporting kernel extensions...

Texture samplers use pixel shader derivatives to perform mipmap selection. The graphics pipeline is intricately linked with each other...

Microsoft probably doesn't have to guarantee content parity or let alone a high quality release for Nintendo platform. Releasing a...

In terms of hardware, I don't think hardware vendors are ever going to ditch texture samplers. Intel eventually figured out that it was...

That's sort of what D3D11.3 was intended to be which was some D3D12 features backported to D3D11... A lot of D3D12's CPU-sided...

DXVK uses an entirely different internal codepath to handle D3D9 as opposed to D3D10/11. The original translation layer used to be D9VK...

Allowing the driver to run shaders/pipelines compiled by an older version of a shader compiler potentially opens up another attack...

Just because games use an ad hoc approach to implement PBR doesn't mean that they're necessarily incorrect and note that the term is...

PBR arguably made things worse. A unified uber-shader style material/lighting model with a forward renderer was not the popular way to...

I think that only applies for games with online connectivity. They don't have any effective way to enforce restrictions with devices and...

These are ways PC D3D12 is still sub-optimal compared to console APIs ... HLSL still doesn't have pointers (GNM/PSSL exposes the true...

Believe it or not the Xenos is closer to the Adreno 200 series (based on the AMD Z430 IP) than any PC AMD GPUs going by open source...
